Tutorials

Here are tutorials on various subjects that the reference staff has created. We can
also make new online presentations upon request. Most of these are .PDF or Flash files.
You can get Adobe Reader and Flash Player on Adobe's website here.

There are several different style guides available, but the three most common are
MLA (Modern Language Association Style Manual), APA (American Psychological Association
Publication Manual), and Chicago (The Chicago Manual of Style). Though citations may
vary in arrangement, they all include the same basic information:

• author • title of the resource • date of publication

Books include place of publication, and periodical materials, such as journal articles,
will include volume and issue number, but not a place of publication. Electronic resources
will be cited differently depending on the style guide you're using.
